Click "Previous" for the full overview image. In 1902 most smaller pintype insulators for lower voltage service (as in this photo) were made of glass. One can only imagine what kinds of terrific glass insulators of New England and Boston area manufacture were in view here! I can safely say that if you got all of them together and put them on sales tables at your local insulator show, you'd have some absolutely incredible offerings!!
